Miami River Inn by Renzzi Review | Tiny Room Near Port of Miami Before Virgin Voyages Cruise
Justin Vacula of the Hurdy Gurdy Travel Podcast reviews a two-night stay at the Miami River Inn by Renzzi near the Port of Miami before a Virgin Voyages cruise.
The hotel is about a five-minute drive, roughly two miles, from the Port of Miami and about six miles from Miami International Airport. Justin explains how he used a $200 Bilt hotel credit plus $100 in Bilt Cash to reduce a roughly $320 hotel stay to about $20 out of pocket.
In this hotel review and room tour, Justin shows the very small room and bathroom, including the narrow walking space, basic shower amenities, towels placed on the bed, and a limited layout. He compares the stay to typical chain hotels, noting that while the location may be convenient for a short pre-cruise stay, the room itself felt cramped and basic.
He discusses limited amenities, including no complimentary breakfast and paid coffee, before sharing his final verdict on whether he would stay again.
Was the Miami River Inn by Renzzi worth it after using Bilt credits, or is this a hotel to avoid before a Port of Miami cruise?
